Nutanix, a leader in enterprise cloud computing, announced today at its .NEXT Europe Conference that new developer-oriented services will be added to its Enterprise Cloud OS software. These services address the unique needs of the growing number of applications that enterprises need to deliver in a multi-cloud world. The new Acropolis Object Storage Service, Acropolis Compute Cloud (AC2) and Nutanix App Marketplace services target application development teams, making it simple to develop, test and run nearly any application within enterprise clouds. These new service capabilities enable developers to quickly deliver both enterprise and cloud-native applications in order to accelerate time to market for new IT initiatives. The company also introduced powerful virtualization enhancements and new platform innovations to accelerate the transformation of enterprise infrastructure to public cloud-like consumption models.

“IT managers are being pushed to deploy datacenter infrastructure that not only runs their business applications efficiently, but also provides cloud-like services that can be consumed by internal application development teams,” said Sunil Potti, Chief Product and Development Officer, Nutanix. “With these new offerings, targeted at developers and workload expansion, Nutanix is the only company that is offering a true public cloud-like experience in the enterprise, which helps customers realize the promise of the multi-cloud era.”

Gartner notes that “organizations want to remain in a position to leverage new and innovative services from different public cloud providers. However, they must secure business justification and be wary of challenges associated with adopting a second cloud provider.” In the same report authored by Research Director Elias Khnaser, Gartner recommends that technical professionals responsible for cloud computing architecture “choose management tools and develop operational processes in support of a multicloud workload architecture.”
